I’m also on Mastodon at @derekahanson@mastodon.social, but this site is the best place to follow me.

Email gets the posts I think are worth a spot in your inbox. That’s mostly the longer pieces, and I pick them one at a time. You won’t get every note or photo, and I won’t send anything else.

One email per post I pick. Unsubscribe from any of them.
